Straight out of the showroom they are 12.2-12.4 sec cars.
I did see one video earlier this year of a guy taking one out to the track with the sticker still in the window & getting a best time just a hair under 12.2 his trap was 119

for that money i could be faster, however, I'll admit, having all of the glam and still being that fast is bad ass. if I had too much money, that would be one of my daily drivers. gotta keep the skills sharp for the weekend racecar.

In stock "off the floor" acceleration the viper is just as quick but not more so
A set of drag radials would change things quickly but thats not stock....
